Evaluation of a National Sample of 16,671 Pediatric Burn Admissions: Identifying Predictors of Non-Accidental Pediatric Burns

In brief

This registry-based study analyzes over 16,000 pediatric burn admissions to identify risk factors and predictors associated with non-accidental burn injuries in children. Understanding these patterns is critical for early recognition of child abuse and improving outcomes in this high-risk population.

• Non-accidental burn injuries in children carry higher mortality rates compared to accidental burns.
• Burn registries can identify risk factors and patterns associated with non-accidental pediatric burns.
• Early recognition of non-accidental burn injury predictors is critical for child protection and outcomes.
